I'm debating when to play Baldur's gate for the first time.

I'm really liking the way Dragon Age looks. I think it is going to be a landmark in modern RPGs, but I never played BioWare's Grand Champion series, Baldur's Gate. I really wat to play this now, so should I play BG before or after Dragon gae, to compare them.

well dragon age will only make BG seem even more outdated but whatever you feel like i guess

Beforehand. Although personally, I would play Baldurs Gate 2. If I recall correctly you weren't able to run in part 1, and that made getting around really, really, really damn slow.
